I currently live in New York City. I will post some reviews of the nightlife on this blog when possible.

Freeeeeeaks on 21st Street

[music: The Rita Mitsouko - Andy]

The place is the new club called Duvet on 21st Street, the old Centro-Fly. It has been redone and the place looks like it's 3 times the old Centro. It's very open and the concept is 'the bed'. There's bed everywhere and we're supposed to lay there.

This is a thursday night and it's been going on for ages now: the whole Amanda, Kenny Kenny, Sofia crazy crowd reunite on Thursday. I was the same thing at Life, Spa, Plaid. It's now at Duvet.

The night's celebration tonight was for Patricia Field new collection. Everyone was there. We arrived around 11:30 and the place was already busy.Excellent music from Larry Tee ("call me mister telephone! Call me Mister Telephone!") and it got PACKED around midnight.I wish I had a camera because everyone was dressed to the gods that night. I specifically remember Patrick McDonald in a salmon suit with flowers designs (very beautiful), some 15yo kid looking at all the drag queens and running to his mother :) ; this one who I saw back at Frankie who was wearing some original Africans jewels (always great to see someone featuring indian/african art) ; Lui wearing a huge back wig; Amanda's not naked! Kenny Kenny was cute with a suit/croset all black, and half a leg cut with some ripped 'bas'.The space works much better than Spa. There's a flow and the crowd's just better. No dancefloor per se, and it's not a issue.

The performance was from Tobel von Cartier. The song was about paparazzi but the mike was busted so I missed all the lyrics. Next time.She also wished happy birthday to that club kid who I saw entering the club with a suit-case and just dress there in the middle of the club...the boucer was like wtf? But hey, tonight's there's no rule so it's all good!
